Answer:
y-5 = -6(x+3) OR y = -6x-13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use slope-intercept form to solve this problem.
Slope intercept form is the following:
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
x1 and y1 are given by the point in the problem.
x1 = -3, y1 = 5.
m is given by the equation in the problem. Lines that are parallel have the same slope. Thus,
m = -6.
If we plug these values into the equation for slope intercept form, we get the following:
y-5 = -6(x-(-3)) which becomes y-5 = -6(x+3)
This is an acceptable answer to the problem. However, point-slope form is also a way it can be written.
y-5 = -6x-18
y = -6x-13
